Barbados-based reinsurer Active Re names new chief operating officer

Barbados-domiciled reinsurer Active Re has promoted Robert Blair Ali to chief operating officer of the company. Blair Ali has spent more than 15 years in the reinsurance market, having joined Active Re in 2019 as deputy COO.

The company praised Blair Ali for “exemplary leadership and insight”, contributing significantly to Active Re’s growth.

In his new role, Blair Ali will continue to serve as a key advocate and leader in forging strategic alliances with MGAs across various regions and lines of business, reporting directly to the chief executive officer.

Active Re CEO Ramón Martínez Carrera, said: “We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Robert for his invaluable contributions during his tenure with the company. We have complete confidence in his ability to excel in his new role.”

Active Re recently participated in the International Credit Insurance & Surety Association’s (ICISA) event, held in Porto, Portugal. The ICISA officialised Active Re’s membership in the association in June last year.

Erik Feigelson Johansson, head of global credit & surety underwriting at Active Re, remarked: “This event provides an invaluable platform for fostering collaboration within the surety community. Our involvement allows us to remain on top of the latest market trends and challenges, while also sharing our expert insights with fellow ICISA members.”
